Surprise, Surprise Favre is Back

Nearly 3 weeks after the Vikings supposedly gave Favre a July 31 deadline to make a decision on a return, Favre and the Vikings agree to a new deal for 1 year totalling $10-12 Million. I can say that i am totally shocked that this happened actually it makes makes sense on his part because he didn't have to go through Training Camp. Personally i don't think that this automatically makes the Vikings the team to beat in the NFC. The reason i say this is because Bret Favre had a complete collapse and maybe for the first time in his career he looked old and like his best days were clearly behind him. To me Bret Favre is becoming one of the most annoying athletes in all of sports. I am starting to strongly dislike Favre, which is saying a lot because 2 or 3 years ago he was one of my favorites. The reason he is coming back is also why i dislike the decision. Ever since the Packers and Favre parted ways Favre has been more determined to stick it to the Packers than anything else, and what better way to stick it to your old team than to play them twice in a season and beat them both times. Favre is coming back for all the wrong reasons, if he really wants to play to win that is totally different but coming back to just beat the Packers is the wrong move. I don't think Favre realises the pressure he is under if he doesn't take the Vikings to the Super Bowl this season will be a complete bust. In my opinion Favre doesn't have it anymore and this could turn into a disaster just like with the Jets a year ago.
